Video: Road & Tracks Sees Just How Much a Tire Swap Does for a Scion FR-S

We get it; Subaru and Toyota wanted to make it possible to thrash the car at the limit without committing a felony, so they intentionally reduced the available grip.

If one wants to take his car to the track though, those things have got to go.
